Tag Archives: The Wild Geese cocktail competition

Our search for the Ultimate Cafe Creme brought together some of London’s top bartenders, who each shared some exciting ideas about the Cafe Creme cocktail.

Our wonderful judges – Neil Davey representing Square Mile magazine, Louise from BarChic.com and Martin Bell who has been working with the brand during its UK launch – were all treated to variations of the classic cocktail, each with a very prominent Wild Geese twist! The judges took into account taste, presentation and replicability.

Add The Wild Geese Classic Blend, clove syrup, coffee and a dash of hot water (20ml), all poured into a milk pitcher and gently heated with the steam wand from the coffee machine, until the pitcher has become too hot to hold.

The pour the contents into a warm glass. Top with cream shaken with 2 dashes Angostura bitter and 1 dash Maraschino.

Tim: ‘I’m delighted. I wanted to look after the strong ingredients in the drink. The Wild Geese is a great drink on its own’
